The PRM directive announced that it would lead a coalition made up of more than 10 parties for the 2016 general election.

By 4 August 2014, 34 deputies had confirmed their move from the PRD to the PRM.[6]

The PRM would come to power after winning the general election which was held on 5 July 2020.[7] In addition to winning the most seats in both houses of the country's congress, PRM leader Luis Abinader would also be elected President of the Dominican Republic and was successfully sworn into office on 16 August 2020.[7][8]

Dominican Social Alliance

The Dominican Social Alliance (Spanish: Alianza Social Dominicana) was a minor political party of the Dominican Republic. It was founded by Rafael Abinader. In the 16 May 2006 election, the party was member of the defeated Grand National Alliance. In 2014 it was transformed into a new party, the Modern Revolutionary Party, when most senior leaders of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (widely known as los viejos robles, the Spanish for '"the ancient oaks"') followed Luis Abinader and Hipólito Mejía to found a new party.

Ideology and principles

The party identifies as a "political organization of a polyclassist nature and of a democratic, liberal and progressive orientation, whose objective is to guide the Dominican people towards human development, guaranteeing the material and spiritual improvement of the population, in an environment of democracy and freedom. This party guides its performance in the ideals of the founders of the Dominican homeland."

gollark: Except its stack traces conflict with the potatOS built in ones...
gollark: Huh, MBS works now!
gollark: PotatOS now supports```luafs.dump([path]) -- dumps all stored FS data to a convenient tablefs.load(dump, [path]) -- load a dump back into the FS```which might be good for using tapes or something?
gollark: Presumably, nobody used potatOS.
gollark: It broke when I made disks work properly, because the path resolutiony mess is *hard*.
